God Forgave Israel’s sins and reclaimed them as God’s people. The message of forgiveness is a joyous message for us all. God Forgives because of God’s love. Christ came because of God’s love for us.

Nobody knows when Christ will return No one knows what the future holds for us individually The best we can do is be prepared for whatever comes our way. The best way to be prepared is to put our trust in God.

We celebrate Christ as our king because he reveals the nature of God. In his death on the Cross Christ made it possible for us to have new life. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ is our constant companion.

Preparation is usually critical to success. History is on the side of those who are prepared. The most important preparation we can make concerns our relationship with God.

Sometimes that which is false has a hardier life than that which is real. Some people like to put on a show of their religion. Many are more into appearances than authenticity. Our most authentic witness is to live our what we believe.

Love is at the center of our faith Love is essential to our physical and emotional well-being Love is our primary calling as followers of Christ.

Jesus knew what it was like to be rejected. When we’re rejected we do not give up the fight. We allow Christ to use our rejection to help us grow in ministry to others.

It’s important that we do what we say we’re going to do The key to a successful life is to be a promise keeper The reputation of seeking to do what is right is the best legacy to leave.

A Worship Service should be like a wedding feast. We are not here because we deserve to be. If we understand the nature of grace, we can focus our worship on God We are to go find others who don’t deserve to be here either.

Can you really live a terrible life, wait till the last minute, then ask forgiveness and be received into the kingdom as if you'd lived the life of a saint? To ask that question implies that we'd rather live a life of sin. What would you change about your life if you knew there was no heaven or hell? If God rejoices over one lost sheep, coin, boy---shouldn't we? God's primary passion is to save people--whenever it happens.

Why do we find it so hard to forgive? Forgiveness is the most powerful witness we have to the grace in our own lives. Forgiveness is a positive activity necessary for the healing of our own hearts.

Fear is a universal emotion. But many are bound by our fears. Jesus doesn’t want us to be prisoners to fear. Think of what Jesus could do with Christian people with conviction and courage.

Millions go to bed hungry every night. As Christians we are accountable for the needs of our neighbors. The greatest hunger people have is for the Bread of Life.

For some, Jesus was an example of the best of humanity. Jesus is also the best representation of what God is like.

Christ wants us to stand up for ourselves It takes a strong person to stand up to our peers and do the right thing. Jesus need people who are conciliatory, but not doormats

A fulfilling life comes to those who have determined what they want to pursued it diligently. Everyone has their own set of priorities. For most of us our families are priorities. Health is a priority for us. Our most important priority is our faith in God.

Human evil is still a reality in our world. The first step to dealing with weeds is knowing how weeds grow. You get rid of weeds by visualizing how you want your garden to look. A Beautiful Garden requires a plan. A Beautiful Garden requires a commitment to cultivate it for as long as possible.

Most people don’t listen well. Jesus’ emphasis in the parable was not on the sower, but the soil. A major part of prayer should be listening to God. It requires a commitment to spend the time to listen to God.
